After three years at the Finca Cortesin resort in southern Spain, the tournament will be played at the Gary Player-designed Thracian Cliffs Course in Bulgaria from May 16-19 next year as part of plans to bring “the championship to geographical areas of interest” for its sponsor, Volvo.

Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borissov said in a statement Monday that it was a “real coup” for the eastern European country to host “such a prestigious international tournament with a rich heritage and sporting traditions.”
